The only way to resolve this... run what you brung. Do a heads up race with production models and accept the results. Top gear already admitted to the fake news so they are disqualified from their results 

Jalopnik is the least flaming heart liberal opinion as fact site of the Gawker group. As a guy who leans on the other side of the aisle, I really appreciate hearing another point of view without having it rammed down my throat as gospel. Keep up the great work!

I have a nagging sense that the merger is only to drain the profits of the American brands to Europe, much like a tick attached to a cash cow 

Make it a 2+2 to compete directly with the muscle cars and it will at least have a broader appeal 

They are lightweight with an extremely high potential for good handling and power. They are based on the pinto chassis, just Google pinto/mustang ii race car to see what they are capable of.

Small, lightweight (2822 lbs), competent suspension and available with a V8. A regular hot rodding of a cam, heads, intake and exhaust what will make these little cars into giant killers. They deserve more respect.

Nice link, it would be nicer if you read it. https://www.epa.gov/regulations-emissions-vehicles-and-engines/california-greenhouse-gas-waiver-request both your and my link expressly point that "Administrator finds that—

To me Toyota failed to keep it in house. They have everything minus the engine to make a Japanese Supra: IS-F body and suspension, Tacoma transmission, and only the engine would be sourced from BMW until the Mazda I6 comes online.

What you are missing is that California is not it’s own country. Another thing is that California has to comply with federal regulations after their exemption has been revoked or destroy their economy at their own peril, it’s ridiculous to think that California is willing to stop sales of all cars because they are not…

Wrong it was the EPA

Key words are granted permission. California no longer has that permission so they have to follow federal law like everyone else 

The right or wrong side of history is such a stupid phrase used by those who can't make a logical argument. The state cannot make laws or regulations that contradict federal law, the Civil War established that and for California to push forward regardless of the clear cut precedent shows how far from reality that…

1st gear: FEDERAL TRUMPS STATE LAW EVERY F*CKING TIME. California is S.O.L. and losing their excessive power over the rest of the country, which is great considering how piss poor their state is being run. The other car makers are aware of the federal vs state outcome and are making the sensible decision.

Am I the only one who thinks that Ford puts way undersized gas tanks for the mpg their cars get?

Well if it means anything, the baby bronco and big bronco are in the pipeline to bring some personality into the lineup in wake of the flex...

At what point does the individual accept responsibility for their own future? If said worker gets laid off, it is up to them to have enough sense to get new skills to survive.

California gas is $1-2 dollars HIGHER than the rest of the country! All of the difference is taxes. Californians have among the longest commutes in the country too, so the snowball effect isn't that hard to see how the poor are being fleeced there 

Not even a pro driver can stop a mustang from attacking civilians! Thank God the barrier was in place.

Very stupid take. California is already doing that and the poor are being devastated in that state. 

Simply allow a cash incentive to but an electric car so those who don't pay taxes (50% of population) won't be disadvantaged in getting a federal discount. Older cars will naturally be replaced and it won't require complex schemes at the government level.
